Why do we feel uncomfortable with preachers having lots of money? Is there something wrong with pastors having expensive things? Nathan Clarkson and Joseph Holmes bring on Ben Kirby--author and man behind the viral "preachers and sneakers" account--on this latest episode.   History of prosperity gospel: https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/what-you-should-know-about-the-prosperity-gospel/  

Today we're joined by Ben Kirby, founder of Instagram account @PreachersNSneakers and author of "PreachersNSneakers: Authenticity in an Age of For-Profit Faith and (Wannabe) Celebrities," to discuss the state of the church when it comes to wealth and prosperity and how we elevate pastors to the role of celebrity. The PreachersNSneakers account posts photos of celebrity pastors, such as Steven Furtick and Mike Todd, wearing extremely expensive clothes and sneakers and leaves the questions up to us: Should we be glorifying this type of wealth when it comes to the role of pastor, and does this help or hurt prospective believers interested in the church? We discuss the relationships that have formed from this account, with some pastors engaging in good-hearted discussions with Ben about their clothing choices and others responding with more vitriol. We also discuss the two recent Hillsong documentaries that highlight the rise and fall of celebrity pastor Carl Lentz. Then we explain the seriousness of the pastoral calling and explain why many pastors who tend to show off their wealth also preach a toxic prosperity gospel with shallow and vapid messaging. --- Timecodes: (01:24) PreachersNSneakers (07:16) What is the point of the posts?

In Knowledge is Comfort: Why We Love Dividend-Paying Stocks, the latest episode of the new Millstone Evans Group podcast Money Conscious hosted by President Sacha Millstone, Sacha and Ben explore how the 2008 financial crisis was very different than what we are facing today. You'll hear why the consumer is in a much better position now, including why the broad-based level of inflation that we're experiencing now is also quite different than what we had in 2008. You'll get a brief and engaging glimpse into how a research expert analyzes and evaluates companies to find opportunities during down times and make investments for multi-year horizons.  You'll also find out why savvy investors should understand the importance of dividend-paying stocks, which are the best performing asset class this year. As Ben notes in the podcast, “Dividends are also called equity income and equity income has the really important feature of being able to grow over time. So as opposed to being fixed, dividends go up over time as the economy grows, as inflation happens. Good companies are able to share their profits with investors. And as those profits grow, they share more of those profits with investors.” Knowledge is power. Knowledge is comfort, too. We hope this episode brings you both. Show Notes: Podcast guest Ben Kirby is co-head of investments for Thornburg Investment Management, responsible for driving the investment process at the firm. He also manages several funds including the Thornburg Investment Income Builder, Developing World Fund, and Summit Fund. He joined Thornburg in 2008 as equity research analyst, was promoted to associate portfolio manager in 2011, and was named portfolio manager and managing director in 2013. In every episode of Money Conscious, host Sacha Millstone talks with exciting, knowledgeable guests about what it means to invest our money consciously. The title Money Conscious reflects two priorities we're passionate about at The Millstone Evans Group: putting your values where your money is, and raising consciousness about money matters in an easy, personal and relatable way.  After you've listened to the podcast, share your feedback about the podcast and future topic suggestions with us.

Money is taboo enough that when you add in Christianity to the discussion things get sticky real fast.  But it seems to us that having honest conversations about our lack of contentment and never-ending desire for more is a healthy thing to do.  Ben Kirby (of Preachers N Sneakers fame) created an instagram account to stimulate these discussions.  Then he wrote a book expanding the conversation about some questions 21st century Christians should be asking. Ultimately our goal is never to judge how someone else spends money, but rather to take an honest look at what we can learn from our own mistakes and the mistakes of others.  Links Mentioned: Preachers N Sneakers   These are a few of the topics we cover: How much should Christians spend on shoes, cars, clothes, etc?

Discovery+'s three-part docuseries “Hillsong: A Megachurch Exposed,” is an investigation into the church made famous by its celebrity congregation, such as Justin Bieber, various Kardashians and other stars. The series explores the rise of Hillsong, which was founded in Australia by Brian Houston as an offshoot of his father Frank's Sydney-based Pentecostal church. Hillsong stood out by putting an emphasis on music as a part of worship. Later, Houston decided to export Hillsong internationally, and recruited pastor Carl Lentz to lead its New York City chapter. Lentz became famous in his own right — and was often photographed alongside Bieber and other celebrity congregants — until Houston fired him in November 2020 for “moral failures,” among other issues. Kate discusses the series, the Hillsong scandals, and the greed behind some megachurches with Hannah Frishberg from New York Post and Ben Kirby, author of PreachersNSneakers: Authenticity in an Age of For-Profit Faith and (Wannabe) Celebrities, both featured in the series.

Kristina invites one of her genuine friends on the podcast - Ben Kirby, the man behind the overnight viral success of his Instagram account, Preachersnsneakers. Kristina and Ben have known each other a few years and met in LA when him and his wife visited Los Angeles to record his own podcast episodes. Just a normal guy pointing out the obvious, they talk about the mental struggles of commenting on the dynamics of how power and money have impacted modern evangelical church culture. Still a normal guy but now with a newborn son, Ben discusses how his life has changed after announcing his identity on the account, and how he's wrestled with the number of vocal opinions about his account. They mention the difficulty in navigating how to comment on things that propose discomfort, and the ways people assign motive if you do speak out. Moral of the story is even when it's hard, it's important to use your voice however you feel God has positioned you to do so.If you want to know about Ben's process and perspective, make sure to buy his recent book!PreachersNSneakers: Authenticity in an Age of For-Profit Faith and (Wannabe) Celebritieshttps://www.amazon.com/PreachersNSneakers-Authenticity-Profit-Wannabe-Celebrities/dp/0785238832/ref=monarch_sidesheet and be sure to checkout his youtube channel with commentaries, guests, and podcast episodes -Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXYGKqddTHijz1ANAAOWsLQBen Kirby is the creator of the viral social media sensation PreachersNSneakers, where he caused an uproar after showing the values of what clothing preachers were wearing on stage across the globe.

He also hosts the popular podcast with the ultra-creative name The PreachersNSneakers Podcast.His background is unconventional for this type of movement.

After his time in the Marines, Ben served as vice president of operations for a tech-enabled services firm, where he not only served in a leadership role but also helped manage a multimillion dollar operation. He holds his BSBA in marketing management from the University of Arkansas and his MBA in strategy and entrepreneurship from the Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University. He now works full-time as a business owner, podcaster, and author in Texas, where he lives with his wife, Stacy (with a baby on the way), and two Labrador retrievers, Gumbeaux and Roux. When not making Christians feel uncomfortable, Ben spends his time fly-fishing, playing drums, flipping sneakers, writing comedy, eating all the foods, smoking exquisite meats, trying different libations (responsibly), and looking for new entrepreneurial endeavors.Don't forget to hit subscribe to That's Super Weird and follow us on social media:https://twitter.com/edgykristinahttps://www.instagram.com/superweirdpod/https://www.instagram.com/edgykristinahart/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/super-weird-pod/support

Celebrity pastor culture is everywhere and it affects a lot of church life and culture. What caused it? How dangerous is it? These are questions I wrestle with a lot. And I'm not the only one.The Instagram account, PreachersNSneakers, took social media by storm a few years ago by pointing out the amount of money celebrity pastors were spending on their shoes. Ben Kirby, the creator of the account, never meant to do anything more than bring attention to this part of celebrity pastor culture, but it struck a chord with so many.Some pastors came out in support of his work, others were offended that he'd point it out. Others were glad to know their pastors were fitted with $1500 shoes.In this episode, we're going to dive into the challenge of celebrity pastor culture and see what lessons we can learn moving forward as preachers and church leaders.Check out the full article referenced here: https://www.christianpost.com/books/preachersnsneakers-creator-churchgoers-demand-celebrity-pastors.html

“In twenty-first-century America, three forces have united to make living as a follower of Jesus more complicated and nuanced than at any other time in Christian history: capitalism, consumerism, and celebrity culture,” writes Ben Kirby. “These forces are raising questions that most Christian leaders, perhaps due to fear, are brave enough to ask only in private. It’s time to drag these questions out of the shadows.” In this episode of the Influence Podcast, I’m talking to Ben Kirby about how these forces are shaping—or misshaping—Christian faith. I’m George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host. Ben Kirby is the creator of PreachersNSneakers, the Instagram account that put a price tag on the clothes worn by America’s celebrity preachers. He is author of PreacherNSneakers: Authenticity in an Age of For-Profit Faith and (Wannabe) Celebrities, published by W Publishing Group. ----- This episode of the Influence Podcast is brought to you by My Healthy Church, distributors of Bible Engagement Project.

PODCAST RECOMMENDATION  This week I want to share with you a podcast called PreachersnSneakers with Ben Kirby.  Originally I found this podcast through the PreachersnSneakers instagram, I believe sometime before the pandemic started.  I started to follow just because I thought it was a funny commentary on megachurch celebrity church culture.  Ben the creator of the account then developed a podcast that I checked out also titled the same as his instagram, PreachersnSneakers. PreachersnSneakers is the ultimate Christian culture podcast where we wrestle with tough questions about for-profit faith, Christian self-help and celebrity culture within faith communities. An interview-based podcast that questions the status-quo, hosted by Ben Kirby-creator of the @preachersnsneakers Instagram account, which highlights the value of your favorite pastor's footwear.

Guest Bios Show Transcript Why do some megachurch pastors wear shoes that cost as much as a mortgage payment? Is that wrong? Or do some pastors deserve to be rich? On this episode of The Roys Report, Julie explores this issue with Ben Kirby, creator of the hugely popular Instagram account PreachersNSneakers. PreachersNSneakers began as an online experiment that showcased photos of famous Christian leaders wearing insanely expensive sneakers and clothing.

Ben Kirby, the man behind the viral Instagram account @preachersnsneakers, joins Blake to talk about the cultural phenomenon of mega church pastors and the lives they lead and the shoes they wear. Listen in as they discuss the often nuanced subject of how much money our pastors make and if we’re allowed to ask questions about how they use it.   Ben Kirby is the author of Preachers n Sneakers: Authenticity in an Age of For-Profit Faith and (Wannabe) Celebrities, which is out April 27th.   This week’s podcast sponsors: Charlotte’s Web CBD is the world’s most trusted hemp extract that supports a sense of calm for focus as well as management of normal, everyday stresses.

Guest Bios Show Transcript Is the Bible just like “Game of Thrones,” except if you don't read it, you go to hell? And speaking of hell, does anyone really believe in a place of eternal torment? Or is that just a fable pastors preach to scare people into becoming Christians? In this episode of The Roys Report, Julie tackles these accusations raised by viral TikTok sensation, Abraham Piper.

Ben is the creator of the viral Instagram account and we had a great conversation about pastors, wealth, Catholicism, fame, and more! *NOTE* We had some connection problems in the middle of the interview, so if a few sentences seem odd, that’s why.

Guest Bios Show Transcript They're ravaging the church and devouring the sheep. Yet instead of tracking and expelling these wolves, we're actually helping—and in some cases—protecting them! On this episode of The Roys Report, Coleman Luck, author of Day of the Wolf: Unmasking and Confronting Wolves in the Church, explains why. Dazzled by their ability to pack auditoriums and fill church coffers, Christians often mistake spiritual wolves for spiritual leaders.

What started as a joke account on Instagram has turned into a movement. Through this provocative project, Ben Kirby unwittingly helped thousands of Jesus followers wrestle with the inevitable dilemmas created by a Christian culture obsessed with image and entertainment. In the interview, Ben shares the fascinating story of how God used his viral Instagram account to initiate important conversations around what it means to be an authentic Christian in an age of for-profit faith and wannabe celebrities. Find out more at PreachersNSneakers.com. The Shaun Tabatt Show is part of the Destiny Image Podcast Network.

On this weeks episode, we talk about the infamous Preachers and Sneakers instagram. We talk about some of the top Pastors that can't help but wear overpriced clothes & shoes on stage. We question whether these outfits are gifts, sponsored fits or just bad financial decisions as we dive into the "why" behind what they're doing. We also talk about "relationship guru" Derrick Jaxn making headlines with his scandal. Pre-order the man behind @preachersandsneakers Ben Kirby's book today!
